Basketball Wives has been renewed for season 5! Was there any doubt? The ladies recently taped the reunion, let’s see how that turned out. Shaunie O’Neal discusses new direction for Basketball Wives.

Shed Media US is fully committed to telling the compelling stories of the Basketball Wives in a balanced way. Our producing partner Shaunie O’Neal feels strongly about this, and we fully agree with this stance. We support her as she encourages the cast members to work out issues in a non-violent fashion. We look forward to working with her and the rest of the cast on conveying more balance in the next season – Shed Media

Our viewers opinions always matter a great deal to us at VH1. Lately, there has been a lot of conversation about Basketball Wives, a series featuring strong, intelligent women with very passionate viewpoints which can sometimes escalate. We at VH1 agree with and support Shaunie and the show producers’ “no excessive physical confrontations” policy on the series moving forward. We are all committed to balancing the candid, bold excitement that the viewers have come to love in the series with storylines and representations they can be proud of. Shaunie has been a strong advocate for a more balanced approach to the show and we, along with our producing partners at Shed Media, are all in agreement about moving forward with that goal – VH1

Really? Let’s get some balance? When was the balance during Tami’s verbal abuse of Kesha during the Tahiti trip? It took 4 seasons and people speaking up about no excessive physical confrontations for you to realize it wasn’t right and you should stop it?

Its entertainment and when I watch the show I want to be ENTERTAIN! No different than wrestling. END OF STORY!

Wish this show would just end. There is seriously no way that this show can come up from being negative four consecutive seasons. You have pple on the show who dont even pertain to basketball life (Evelyn) let it gooooo make another show ab something else positive

Say it ain’t so. Another season after four seasons of a horrible representation of black women…now one more season. I don’t get it.

Let it go! There’s so much talk about Evelyn, however Tami is no better & may I add very disappointing in exemplifying a woman of integrity within the Black community! Regardless as to whether they choose to set an example or not, many young girls & women who are insecure and immature are entertained & feel validated to also engage in that manner if compelled! There was an agenda to this show all along & I must admit I liked the show in the beginning! However, there is more negativity & it lacks substance! Shaunie in my opinion is worse for disappearing & then becoming ever physically present for the fights without intervening (purposely done) to promote ratings & in turn boost her image as the more classy & dignified one of the group!
Royce count of love interests since season 1 keeps increasing….what a great (note the sarcasm) show & image to portray!

Me personally, I don’t think this show should continue. See first off, none of these women are basketball wives, they are either ex wives or ex fiances. Secondly they are embrassing not only to women alone but for black women as well. I mean seriously, all of them need to grow up and for Tami to pick on someone not even on the same ignorant ass level as you. I mean damn, VH1 you can do better!!!

TAMI YOU ARE A MUTHERFUCKING DUMBAZZ GHETTO AZZ TRIFLING DISGUSTING BULLY BUM BITCH. I HOPE, I HOPE, I HOPE YOU GET POPPED SO BADLY AND YOUR FAT AZZ WAKE IN THE HOSPITAL WITH YOUR TEETH MISSING AND YOUR EYES BUSTED. You need therapy and need to be tranquilized. You’re a WILD ANIMAL that escaped from the zoo.

Bitch azz Tami won’t own up to her bully ways. Tami is a pyschopathetic scum bag. You bullied that Kesha ’cause you’re a wild azz animal that can’t handle alcohol. The US gov’t should take away your passport ’cause wild azz animals like you are an embarassment. You don’t know how to conduct yourself like a respectable person. You’re an ANIMAL.

everyone feels bad for Kesha, blah blah blah, but you bitches did NADA while that wild animal bullied her. You only defended that wild animal. You protected the bully and blamed the victim. typical ghetto azz bitches. but that’s okay, because they were bullied too by that wild animal. poor excuses for women and human beings. a true human being would have stepped in and dragged that wild animal back to her room and let her sleep off the alcohol then put her on the first thing smoking out of Tahiti. Alerted the fed gov’t to take away her passport and lock her up in AA for at 9 months. That wild animal is not fit to be in society.

I no longer watch this mess, So there could be 20 seasons I will not be paying these stupid, ignorant women salaries, This show needs to be discontinued, But VH1 is making money they could care less how DUMB these women are.

IamShe…..u?

Mldean71 said….Its entertainment and when I watch the show I want to be ENTERTAIN! No different than wrestling. END OF STORY ……….@Mdlean71 this is Reality TV. yeah, they can stage some of it but not the words out of your mouth.

Shaunie is trying to save ratings. If she wanted balance, she would have stepped in and stopped Tami at the table. She wouldn’t entertain the foolishness in the ride back to the hotel or let Tami go on and on at the hotel and in Keisha’s room. They all act like they were afraid of Tami. Tami had the nerve to tweet last night, she apologize and don’t take it on her kids…. i would be embarass to have her a “mother”. Now, she doesn’t want her kids to go thru it but she can take someone thru it….which they shouldn’t. and Tami had didn’t pick her purse up bc she left it. Tami knows who to talk that ish. But, i expect that from someone who was on the REAL WORLD and had an abortion…. GOD don’t like ugly….her heart attack!!!

I blame the show’s producers for all the physical confrontations. Americans, civilized ones that is, do not want to see grown women on tv acting like teenage school girls. Kesha was the bigger person in my opinion for not wanting to fight or argue. What would you have done if Kesha had feared Tami so much that she got a weapon and done serious harm to her? Would it had been worth all the ratings?

WHY IS NOBODY ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT KESHA IS A THIRTY SOMETHING WHO HAS ISSUES FROM CHILDHOOD ABOUT BEING A MIXED RACE CHILD AND HAS DIVULGED HER MISTAKES INTO BEING ABOUT HER BEING BULLIED BECAUSE SHES NOT BLACK ENOUGH??? I HAVE BEEN WATCHING SINCE SEASON 1. SINCE TAMMY CAME ON THE SHOW. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG IN SAYIN KEISHA LOOKS LIKE A LISA I KNOW PLENTY OF BLACK GIRLS NAMED LISA. AND SHE LOOKS WEIRD AND SHE KNOWS THIS SO Y NOT OWN IT???? ARE YOU EXPECTING PPL WILL NOT ASK U OF UR ETHNICITY? SHE WENT TO EVELYN ABOUT IT WHEN TAMMY SIMPLY ASKED IF U HAVE ANY ISSUE PLEASE COME TO ME DIRECTLY KEISHA NEVER OWNED UP TO GOIN TO EVELYN AT THE TABLE NEVER APOLOGIZED FOR HER STATEMENTS AT THE CANCER EVENT WHO DOES SHE THINKS SHE IS. IM SORRY I CANT STAND GROWN ASS WOMEN WHO HAVE DELAYED GRATIFICATION AND CHILDHOOD ISSUES AND CONSTANTLY PLAY THE VICTIM WITH TEARS BECAUSE THEY HAVE POOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS. AFTER BEIN CONFRONTED BOUT THE ERROR OF HER WAYS SHE GOES BACK N TALKS MORE SHIT ABOUT TAMMY AS THOUGH ROYCE N SUZIE WOULD NOT RUN THEIR MOUTH N STILL CAN NOT OWN UP TO WHAT SHE SAYS?? OMG. Tammy i understand being in this light is tough.. the apology is fine its a testament to the kind of person u truly are but please TAMMY dont think that there r not ppl out here who f*ck with u and f*ck with what u stand for. and we understand u tried to say it as clearly and politely as u could u would think the b*tch watched wat happened to meeka, YEA KESHA I SED BITCH there r ppl in this world who use that word believe it or not. U hav lived a sheltered life where all them white ppl was sensitive to every little tear because u were black n wanted to make u feel amongst but u r grown n in the real world now u better as a 30sumthin know how to handle urslf cuz no one is goin to be kissing ur ass. Evelyn is just a flake man u have no loyalty u stand back n watch ur assistant slap jen friend for over 10yrs over not hangin out anymore when she cud have simply asked for her keys back but then sit there n cry with keisha cuz she dint have big enuff balls to admit to tammy she went a 2nd time to talk sh*t. I really shud sign that petition for ur show not to be aired. U slept with this womans husband n she still forgave u n befriended u. U cud have interfered by jus takin the purse to kesha for tammy but tellin kesha she needs to leave if she cant b a woman about her sh*t. WE HAVE ALL GONE THRU SH*t N KEISHA AINT THE ONLY MIXED RACE GIRL. IT SHUD NOT B THE REASON SHES SEEKIN PUBLIC SYMPATHY BLOGGIN BOUT BULLYIN JUS CUZA ALL THE CRAZY SH*T GOIN ON IN AMERICA WITH THESE KIDS IN SCHOOL. BEIN ON TV IS A RESPONSIBILITY IF U AINT READY SIT THE F*CK DOWN SOMEWHERE LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD

ITS ONLY BECAUSE VIEWERS STARTED USING THE WORD BULLY THAT MADE SHAUNIE AND VH1 Make this Statement! Now tami is being bullied…one word…KARMA! I have said all I can say about this issue. I suggest all parents attend Rachel’s Rally. Imagine coming home one day and open ur garage to see ur child hanging from a rope all because they were BULLIED! So it’s easy to sit behind a computer or iphone or ipad or whatever and post comments but until it happens to you it’s just what the PHUCK Eva!! If you are not familiar with it then GOOGLE IT!!
